This was a superb day for walking, bright blue skies, sunny and very little wind. In the su it felt pleasantly warm.
The views in the morning were good nd somne of the more eagle-eyed amongst us claim to have seen snow on the higher hills towards Snowdonia.
Lunch was taken at Loggerheads, where we all sat on the seats around a large oak tree. Thankfully most of us were in the Sun as well.
The afternoon walk took us east of the main road back to the start, not quite as oiginally planned, but the same as we did the last time we did the walk. It was while on the path through Big Covert thast we had our one and only view of Moel Famau.
Overall an enjoyable, celebrated by a drinks at the Druids Inn at Llanferres. Purple Mooses's Snowdonia Ale was the beer of choice although two did have tea! Wendy bought the round as it would be her birthday next week, but she isn't able to make the walk then.
Unfortunately DS had early morning car problems, and opted to take it to the garage, and get it sorted, rather than switch car and sort the car out later.
